Unfortunately, that moment of thought makes Natsuru a bit uncomfortable. Without any prompting from Veronica at all, she manages to imagine all the worst possible answers. She'd even almost gotten to the point where she'd believe they really would be possible, when Veronica's smile erases all doubt.

She almost misses what Veronica actually says in that moment, she's so dumbfounded at her overwhelmingly positive demeanor.

"O-oh... okay. Good..."

But... is Veronica expecting her to kiss first again? They're practically close enough for it already, but the blonde hasn't moved that crucial last bit. Meanwhile, Natsuru's mind is still racing with thoughts she can't hold on to long enough to make sense of them, before she hears herself speak again.

"I, uh... think we're supposed to close our eyes first? T-to do it properly, I mean..."

As if she really has any clue about how to be the kisser and not the kissed...
